Adam Lambert has taken to his Twitter account to talk about his opinions on the film Les Miserables and has slammed director Tom Hooper‘s cast for “pretending to be singers”.

“Les Mis: Visually impressive w great Emotional performances. But the score suffered massively with great actors PRETENDING to be singers …it’s an opera. Hollywoods movie musicals treat the singing as the last priority. (Dreamgirls was good),” Adam wrote.

“And I do think it was cool they were singing live- but with that cast, they should have studio recorded and sweetened the vocals. Eponine’s [Samantha Barks] voice was cool too…,” he continued. “I felt like I should ignore the vocals and focus on the emotional subtext- but the singing was so distracting at times it pulled me out. The industry will say “these actors were so brave to attempt singing this score live” but why not cast actors who could actually sound good? Sorry for being so harsh but it’s so True!”

Evan Rachel Wood chimed in on the conversation, saying “We sang live in “across the universe” #justsaying,” to which Adam replied, “And that sounded Good!!! Ok yes, that’s another movie musical exception. That movie was on point. And U were stunning in it.”

Moviegoers were out in full force on Christmas Day, giving two films, Les Miserables and Django Unchained, huge openings, breaking box office records!

Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman‘s Les Miserables, which brought in $18.2 million, placing number one, scored the top opening day for a musical, as well as the biggest weekday Christmas Day opening of all time, according to THR!

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx‘s Django Unchained came in at number two with $15 million, nabbed the honor of top R-rated Christmas Day opening of a film.

Coming in at number three was this past weekend’s number one, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, which raked in $11.3 million.

Rounding out the top five were Parental Guidance and Jack Reacher, which earned $6.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

Samantha recently talked with the Hufffington Post about how Les Miserables has changed her life.

“I think because it is a huge big change in my lifestyle, the way I kind of get through that is by trying to not freak myself out,” Samantha said. “Trying to not over-think too far and take every day that comes with gusto. The fact that there is a buzz around the film makes me burst with pride. I am honored to be involved in a project like this. To be involved in a moment of history for theater — and for theater to be translated onto film in this way, with a cast like this and a director like this — is the proudest moment of my life.”

Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe suit up as they attend the premiere of their new film Les Miserables on Friday (December 21) in Sydney, Australia.

Hugh, 44, recently talked about the intense training he had to go through to play Jean Valjean.

“Definitely as hard as any Wolverine movie I’ve done,” Hughadmitted. “Getting skinny is one thing, but he (Jean) has to maintain his strength. I was in the gym for about three hours a day. For the first day of shooting I learned a little trick from my trainer there of not drinking any water. In a way, it sinks your cheeks and your eyes, because it was important for the story that he be unrecognizable. So, that was the goal. We went for it.”

FYI: Hugh is wearing a Dolce&Gabbana tuxedo.
